It commenced on July 14, 2022, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, United States, and is set to conclude on September 6, 2026, at Estádio do Restelo in Lisbon, Portugal. The tour achieved several venue records in Europe and the Americas, and as of 2025, it is one of the most-attended concert tours, as well as the eighth highest-grossing concert tour of all time, earning US$635.5 million within its first 100 concerts.
Designed to promote his fourth studio album, After Hours (2020), the tour was set to run in arena venues from June 11, 2020, in Vancouver, Canada, to November 16 in London, England. However, following the COVID-19 pandemic, they were postponed to 2021 and 2022, respectively, before being cancelled in favour of stadium venues due to the constraint of arenas. The show was continuously revamped to incorporate the release of his fifth and sixth studio albums, Dawn FM (2022) and Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025), respectively. An accompanying concert film and live album, documenting the November 27, 2022, show at SoFi Stadium, were released in 2023.
On February 20, 2020, the Weeknd announced through social media plans to tour North America and Europe later that year in support of his fourth studio album, After Hours (2020). 88Glam, Sabrina Claudio, and Don Toliver were announced as supporting acts for the tour. The following month, additional concerts were announced in select cities due to demand. In May 2020, following raising concerns of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns, Live Nation announced plans to postpone all concerts to the following year; rescheduled concerts to commence in June 2021 and conclude in November of the same year. Claudio and Toliver were announced to return as supporting acts, with Toliver only performing for concerts in North America; Black Atlass was announced as co-support for Claudio for European concerts, replacing 88Glam. That November, the National Football League announced the Weeknd would headline the Super Bowl LV halftime show on February 7, 2021. On February 3, 2021, four days prior to the halftime show, the Weeknd and Live Nation announced the tour would be postponed a second time due to the continued concern of the pandemic, with 19 new dates added onto the itinerary for 2022. That October, a third postponement was announced, again for 2022, with venue changes from arenas to stadiums. The Weeknd cited ongoing demand and "constraints of arenas" for the change of venue type.
In January 2022, the Weeknd released his fifth studio album, Dawn FM. Two months later, the newly-retitled After Hours til Dawn Tour was announced, with Doja Cat serving as supporting act. That May, Doja Cat withdrew from the tour as supporting act, citing required surgery on her tonsils. The following month, Snoh Aalegra, Mike Dean, and Kaytranada were announced as the new support acts. During the September 3, 2022, concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, the Weeknd abruptly ended the show only three songs in, claiming to have lost his voice; he promised a full refund of the concert, and a "real show soon". He subsequently issued a formal apology on his social media accounts. Twenty-four days later, the rescheduled concert was announced, in addition to a second concert at the venue. That November, concerts in Europe and Latin America were announced. Supplemental shows were subsequently announced due to demand.
On February 2, 2023, the Weeknd announced that a concert film, titled The Weeknd: Live at SoFi Stadium, would premiere on HBO Max on February 25. Seven days later, HBO dropped the trailer for the film, and announced it would air the concert on the network, in addition to the streaming service. A live album Live at SoFi Stadium followed on March 3 of the same year. That August, concerts in Australia and New Zealand were announced to take place between November and December of the same year, with Chxrry22 and Dean serving as supporting acts. Due to demand, additional concerts in Australia were announced; two weeks prior to the November 20 kick off in Brisbane, the dates were postponed to 2024, citing "unforeseen circumstances". In April 2024, it was announced the concerts in New Zealand were cancelled. That August, select concerts in Melbourne and Sydney were announced with Anna Lunoe added as support act, and dates in Brisbane cancelled.
On January 31, 2025, the same day his sixth studio album Hurry Up Tomorrow released, concerts in North America were announced, with Dean and Playboi Carti as support acts. That September, additional concerts in Europe and Latin America territories were announced for 2026, with Playboi Carti and Anitta announced as supporting acts, respectively. Additional supplementary dates were subsequently announced.
In a press release to Variety, the After Hours til Dawn Tour "will see [the Weeknd's] most ambitious production to date reflecting the creative journey that continues to unfold for both [After Hours and Dawn FM], creating worlds within worlds as we have all been watching unfold in various television performances, music videos and short films bringing these first two pieces of his trilogy to life." The Weeknd's creative director and childhood friend La Mar Taylor explained in an interview with Variety that the tour would be theatrical and conceptual, saying: "There is a linear story between After Hours and Dawn FM, and I think the audience will walk away with different interpretations of the show. To us, that's the whole point." Taylor described the production as a journey "through a cosmic cataclysm that has erupted and plagued the earth. The devastation is widespread and will most likely continue till dawn."
The stage design had 3 stages: the main stage, showcasing a row of destroyed buildings modeled after the Weeknd's hometown of Toronto, and a screen behind them showing visuals of a futuristic post-apocalyptic skyline; the main stage leads to a catwalk leading into a quadrangular stage, which features an inflatable moon over its edge and also unites the catwalk leading into a circular stage. The show displays the Weeknd performing in all three of these stages, with dancers dressed in red robes which either perform synchronized dance routines or stand motionless. At the start of the show, during "Alone Again" and "Gasoline", he wears a mask which the Los Angeles Times described as "creepy" and makes him resemble "a victim of some botched plastic-surgery procedure."
